Battle of River Plate for GrafSpee

horsa · 04-28-08, 06:57 PM

I had to do this one

. I'm not really an SH4 player but spotted all these developments with playable surface ships. This is a short mission ( more a brief encounter

) depicting the classic Battle of the River Plate. It's three Brit cruisers ( CA and x2 CL) closing on the Graf Spee. The weather is absolutely clear as it was on the day so visibility is excellent.

I've included the files made by W4lt3r to make the whole thing play more realistically . Many thanks for these. You'll also need the playable Graf Spee.

Many thanks to both Xantrokoles (Graf spee) and W4lt3r (file tweaks) for making this possible.

There's no objective built into the mission. Either run ( boring ) or duce it out. Great with ROW sound .

It will be a great pleasure to study this mission, i prepared a detailed full simulation of this long campaign by the KMS Graf Spee duirng her remarkable journey, and interviewed crew from all the major units, and was assisted by the Admiralty in UK with merchant route maps, fuel charts for the Exeter, Ajax and Achillies and the Cumberland cruisers as there was one of those units about to join up when the fateful day dawned in the River Plate. This will be a great pleasure to try out. It will bring back the memory of the sad day on teh 17th of December 1939 when she went to the bottom.
